    The Truth About Breastfeeding, Nursery Anxiety & What I Wish I'd Known Before Becoming a Mum

    08/12/2026 | 23 mins.
    In this episode, I'm chatting about surviving the fearless one-year-old stage, why I disappeared for a week during the summer holidays, and the book that left me sobbing. 
    I read a lovely listener email with advice for parents preparing for nursery, ask the question every mum wishes she'd been asked before having a baby, and share a heartfelt email about the greatest postpartum gift of all: someone simply showing up. 
    I also talk about World Breastfeeding Week, why support for mums matters just as much as feeding babies, and finish with a simple self-care reminder to savour those rare, quiet moments when your little one is happily playing.

    How to Stop Feeling Like a Bad Mum | Mum Guilt, Toddler Tantrums, Perma-Tired Parents & the 'Beta Mum' Trend

    07/29/2026 | 38 mins.
    Welcome back to another episode of The Night Feed. This week I share a lovely listener email that offers hope for anyone still deep in the sleep-deprived stage, along with another from a mum feeling consumed by guilt after snapping at her two-year-old twins. 
    We also chat about the internet's latest parenting trend, the rise of the "Beta Mum", and whether we've all been putting far too much pressure on ourselves to be perfect. Plus, I share one of my favourite recent motherhood milestones and a simple self-care tip you can try today.

    What is Possum Parenting and how to Cope with Being Perma-Tired

    07/22/2026 | 33 mins.
    Welcome back to Season 6 of The Night Feed! After a little unplanned break, I'm back. Life got wonderfully busy over the last couple of weeks, but I knew I wanted to come back feeling refreshed with plenty to chat about.
    In this episode, I'm sharing some of the parenting moments that have completely filled my heart recently.
    I also answer a listener's question that I think so many of us quietly ask ourselves: is feeling permanently tired just our new normal? If your baby is getting older but you still feel like you're running on empty, you're definitely not alone.

    After a 3am co-sleeping toilet trip (baby in tow!), I'm chatting about the growing conversation around "mommymaxxing", from sleep routines and weaning to sensory play, meal prep and postpartum recovery. Has social media turned parenting into an impossible checklist?
    We also hear from a listener navigating the 4-month sleep regression, wondering whether contact naps are creating "bad habits" or simply giving her baby what they need right now.
    Plus:
    A wonderful recommendation for We Are Mother Zen in Ramsbottom for any Manchester mums looking for a calm, baby-friendly café.
    What's Trending: Have you heard of Gramnesia? Why grandparents seem to forget just how exhausting the newborn days really were.
    This week's gentle self-care tip encourages you to reconnect with nature in the smallest of ways even if it's just touching a tree!
    If you've been feeling overwhelmed by the endless parenting advice online, this episode is your reminder that your baby doesn't need a perfect childhood, they need you.

    Are Modern Mums Narcissistic? Erica Komisar's Controversial Claim

    06/25/2026 | 24 mins.
    Modern motherhood is loud. Between social media, parenting advice, notifications and the endless mental load, many mums aren't lacking self-care, they're lacking silence.
    In this episode, I share one simple, free self-care habit that can help calm your nervous system without needing childcare, money or hours of spare time: creating a daily "No Input" pocket.
    If you're feeling overstimulated, touched out or mentally exhausted, this episode is a gentle reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do is... nothing at all.
